Okeniyi (who played District 11 tribute Thresh in The Hunger Games) will be starring alongside Ben Affleck in one of two new projects.

While he had an instrumental role in the Games – after all, he saved and spared Katniss’ life – we didn’t see much of the Nigerian actor because of his character’s exemplary survival and stealth skills. But from the looks of it, we’ll be seeing a lot more of him in The Spectacular Now and Runner Runner. In the former, Okeniyi joins a cast including Shailene Woodley, Milles Teller and Brie Larson in a story of a charismatic high school student.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Runner Runner will see the actor play a Princeton PHD student alongside Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake in a Leonardo Di Caprio produced project. These new roles are his first since completing The Hunger Games.
